Linux isn't ready for the enterprise. Stive Ballmer told me so! You commuinists can't take over cause we programmer s have to continue to rip everyone of on upgrades. Japan is going to be reall sorry when ther Lenux breaks and all they can do is a call Fujitsu who will tell them they don't have any support because Linux is too hard.
LAN parties are a fucking pussy way to kill brain cells... if thats what they think they are doing. They are actually a good way to do somehting that DOESN'T kill braing cells, I have thought all along. Perhaps the article sender should get a real idea of what having a wild time is. It's not a LAN party.
I thought this was about 'Wireless Line Monitoring'. Let me know when slashdot is done catering to you horde of techno-yuppies on the hill growing your silicon regulated grapes, and gets back to posting articles about information technology.
We notice acts like throwing out Fench dressing, but mainly think those who would do such things are brainless slugs who are unable to think or follow logic, much less remember even recent history, and thus have the Fox News Channel form all of their opinions for them.
The software has fundamental problems. They were going to pick software from Microsoft, and it took them that long to notice it had 'fundamental problems'?? Have these people used any MS OSes between 1982 and 2001?? It isn't hard to imagine that a Microsoft-'powered' cel phone would all in all fucking suck hell on a stick.
I read something great in an old radio mag from 1961. They were talking about Japan. The article said that sure, Japan can make $50 television sets, and consumers might like that, but they will be upset if that TV breaks, right? And then the article said sure, those Japanese can make cheap stuff and can manufacture it inexpensively - but where they will never catch up is in being able to engineer quality products that appeal to western consumers! Ha h, hah. I guess they read that article and sent all their kids to engineering school.
Well, I don't care what the name is. I like Phoenix. I recently installed Windows on my spare laptop for some sega emulation. I needed a browser with tabs - I use Galeon on Linux usually - and Phoenix is great!!
Yep, down with the religion of Proprietary Software for the Sake of Capitalism! Linux is so much more flexible, scriptable, and has so many more scientific applications available for free.. it would take a fanatic or fanatically ignorant IT department to shove windows down these poor physicists throats.
Too late for my Phantasy Star Online binge... I had to get a *%*^$*& dialup account PLUS Hunter License to play for 3 months last winter.
I think we're still getting a BBA, though! We wondered why a thrid party or (this is the orginial manufacturer?) didn't make some more BBAs, they were going for $150 on Lik Sang, so clearly the dmand has been there. I wonder if the demand is still there, its almost too late for me. COME ON GAMECUBE PSO!!! I hope theres no broadband lack for the gamecube: nintendo, please don't suck.
Well, really.. thats a silly example. Obvioulsy the customer has a fuzzy view of nadwidth and file sizes: My brother uploads 1.5 GB of Anime on a Win98 server every day or two. I mean, 1.5 GB... thats less than 3 CDs full of data. I don't think it matter what OS you are using for that, so all it proves is shes confused. Still, 1600 GB is a good amount and i bet that pathetic NT server would have had to reboot at least 6 times to manage that.
Back when we had a semi local cable company things were groovin'. Now, they were bought by Charter, and after a year or so they reduced everyones service to about 1.8 Mbit. So, I used to be able to down load at a combined 285 k bytes a sec or so, and now only 185 k bytes a second or so. Now, if they would raise my send from the measly 256 to 512 all would be forgiven.
Well, I love Dr. Who.. with Colin Whats his name, the curly haired guiy as the Dr. I like Mr. Head whoplays Giles... my girlfriend watches that Buffy all the time. But a new Dr., Who, well who knows. It could go wither way I guess...
Palladium is basically MS's plan to do the same thing as 'my services' was supposed to do - store a central database of user information and data. This time, it's distributed - instead of being in a giant MS data center, each little piece will be stored on everyones PC - still ONLY accesible to MS, so bascially, its still the same thing@!! Very clever! Plus, they get the chance to include some DRM for HOllywood.
I like using Window Maker by itself when I want a fast loading desktop that merely manages windows and provides a quick way to launch applications... then I use KDE 3 or Helix Gnome when I want some spiffy bells and whistles to play with. By the way, KDE 3 is really slick... I hope Gnome 2.0 is super spiffy also, I haven't tried the betas yet.
Theres bias, and theres unfair bias: people hate MS because they are mega greedy, have no ethics whatsoever and 'compete' like dirty back alley thugs. Basically, they're assholes. Plus, it doesn't help that their products are a combination of slick interface+sludgy-under-the-hood, and they introduce all the cutting edge features everyone else has, 3 years later, then act like it was their idea to begin with ('optical mouse').
That is the good things about having the configuration tools Mandrake has on top of a GNU/Linux system with all the stuff. You can use their GUI configuration tools if you want, or you can go and change stuff the normal, expert way if you know how. With Windows its the GUI or not much else to change stuff about your system or network.
I cant say anything but that to say that KDE 2.2 is 'as good as Win 3.1' is too ridiculous.
Also, since MS still owns all the OEMs, no matter how painless installation is (which is very painless, by now, actually, since people have been saying that for years), its stil a lot different than the huge preinstallation advantage MS enjoys. I do feel like Mandrake, Red Hat, Suse and others are the ones who should be taking care of making sure all the components (Xfree86, KDE, Linux, GNU system software, etc.) fit together with polish. As far as graphics cards, NVidia provides excellent Linux support for all of their cards from the TNT to the GeForce4.
Hey, that's right. I recently heard a report on NPR about some research a journalist had done about what happens to computer and electornic equipment sold to be 'recycled' overseas, in China, etc. About 4 hours from Hong Kong on the mainland, he found a town where not only did they constantly burn piles of wires by night and sort thourgh them by the day, leaving the town covered in higly toxic ash and releasing lots of dioxin and more, but apparently CRT monitors have 3-4 pounds of lead a piece, and the streams had lead levels about 190 times above the WHO standard for too much lead...
Apparently, the EU, Canada, Japan and other nations havea ban on exporting this type of stuff, and require proper recycliong within their own country... about time for the US to do so.

Listen, you fuck, Grape Monitoring is INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.
How about you read the article, and FUCKING DIE, not necessarily in that order.

Oh... I though cold grits worked best, but good point... I'll try some of her too.

Ha ha, oops, nad width. Lets see her try to measure my nad width.

The income they would have had if Peru had used Free Software: $0

Yeah, haha, being troubled by abysmal sales, etc!!

Yep, nobody cared when Yahoo did it... and Microsoft can't think of a frickin' idea on their own, so they probably copied this from Yahoo... Ha ha....

I was hoping for some cheaper heroin.
